When you just want to capture the Milky Way but your camera decides to capture the aurora as well.
Location: Açores.
Date: 11 Oct 2024

P.S. The aurora was not visible to the naked eye. This 15 sec exposure 'saw' it.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

Thousands of civilians are returning north along the devastated roads following the ceasefire announcement and the Israeli army’s withdrawal from Al-Rashid Street and most areas of the devastated Gaza Strip.

They are going home ❤️‍🩹

Breaking | Multiple Palestinians were reported wounded in Israeli artillery shelling that hit a group of civilians in Jabalia, northern Gaza Strip.
 A group of men in Jabalia, northern Gaza, gather around a damaged white car amid rubble and destruction. A body covered with patterned blankets lies across the car’s trunk, while medical wrappers and debris litter the ground. The background shows a bombed-out building, its concrete frame exposed and walls shattered. The men’s expressions are somber and shocked as they stand in the aftermath of Israeli artillery shelling that wounded multiple civilians.

CNN reports that Israel has refused to release two abducted Palestinian doctors, renowned pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Dr. Marwan Al Hams, deliberately excluding them from the ceasefire and prisoner swap agreement.
 A digital poster features two Palestinian doctors, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Dr. Marwan Al-Hams, against a blurred background of destruction and smoke. Text at the top reads in bold yellow letters: “They are not coming home.” Below, in white and yellow text, it says: “Israel denies release of abducted Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Dr. Marwan Al-Hams in deal.” Both men appear serious—Dr. Abu Safiya in a white medical coat, and Dr. Al-Hams in dark clothing with a stethoscope around his neck.

According to Lebanese sources, a Lebanese man was killed and his brother injured when their vegetable transport truck was bombed, coinciding with the Israeli airstrikes that targeted the town of Al-Musaylih in southern Lebanon.
 A heavily burned truck is seen destroyed on a roadside in southern Lebanon. The vehicle’s metal frame is charred and blackened, its sides warped by the explosion. Crates of fruits and vegetables, including pomegranates and tomatoes, are scattered and partially burned on top and around the vehicle. Behind it, damaged infrastructure and debris mark the aftermath of an airstrike, with a few intact buildings—one labeled “Fakih Gallery”—visible in the background. The scene conveys destruction and loss following the reported Israeli bombing in Al-Musaylih.

Hundred of large well done studies from all across the world vs 1 deeply flawed assoc study? www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdi...

Amazing how antivaxxers ignore large body of evidence & expert opinion, but when they find something that they think supports their view?

Cognitive bias fest.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Interesting study that looks at dynamics of B cell responses in the lymph nodes to vaccination against SarsCov2 (COVID). This shows that B cell responses are broadened in the node germinal centres enabling wider responses to variants 🧪 #ImmunoSky

Director-General of Gaza’s Ministry of Health: “Nearly 10,000 people are still missing in the Gaza Strip, as countless bodies remain buried under the rubble of homes destroyed by Israeli occupation airstrikes.”
An aerial view of a devastated urban area shows immense destruction stretching into the distance. Rubble and ruins of collapsed buildings cover the landscape on both sides of a dusty road that runs through the center. Small groups of people walk along the road, dwarfed by the surrounding wreckage. A few makeshift structures and a white car are visible near the bottom of the image. The background fades into a gray haze, revealing the remains of an entire city reduced to debris. The scene conveys immense loss and devastation.
